pilod, as only a Mexican knows bow, un
til a veritable haystack is the result,
whicli, whon coinploto, will "tarn the

Jackass the world over, and liko hi

with measured tread; never stopping un

bonoath its burden, but continually mov

favorite poaition on the plaza is reached,
where it will stand all day, or until a pur
chaser arrives to relievo it. Amoncan

is well known here, having lieen liorn

was for several year (iovernor of Ton

citizen, and also a Mayor of Mem

OF THE HEART AHO ITOMliU.

Valunbl Advice.
Dr. llartman, tlio eminont physician and
Burgeon, was narrating to a number of
eager listeners souio of his noUblo cxpori
onces in his extensive, varied and success
ful practico of over thirty years, whon
something that hu had related gnvo riso to
a discussion upon tho relativo importance
of those two vital organs, the heart and
stomach. Homo maintained that the heart
was by far the most Important; othors that
the stomach was. lr. llurtiuan having
been appealed to for his opinion, ho suid:
"Your discussion as to which of the two
organs is tho inoro important appears to
mo, gentlemen, to bo somewhat idlo.
lloth aro so ubsoluto'y impoi lant, so usson
tiul to tho maintenance of vitulity, that
there is no ground for such a comparison.

ing distinctly diHerent functions, und piny
ing qtiita disaimilur. parts in tho physical
economy, ono is, in a certain and import
ant sense, fully as important us the othor.
Hut, after all, the question of their
relative importance is a very minor
one in comparison with that of Ihuir
alMolute mid mutual importance. Hot
only could the body not survive tho
loss of ono, but anything that materially
aH'ccls either materially streets tho cntiro
system. N that the maintenance ol hoalth
depends in a very great degree Upon the
maintenance nf tho heart and stomach in
a proper condition and in the regular per
formance ol their functions. The dis
eases to which theso organ nro liable, snd
particularly so tho heart, aro numerous,
j.regnant with danger, and dillicult of euro.
For instance, the covering membrane of
the heart may become inlliimod; this is
known ns pericarditis. Tlieu tho inetn
brnuo lining tho heart may be inflamed.
This is called endocarditis. Then (hero is
neuralgia of the heart, with its sudden and
Hlurming attack of severe pain sud senso
of oppression; dilution, duo to tho enlarge

w hicli there is a thickening of tho walls of
the heart The symptoms of heart dis
ease are not always very marked. In the
cumi of neuralgia, tho psin is symptom
enough. In oilu'r cases, shortness of
breath, palpitation, frequency, irregularity
snd beurt-beating indicate tfie presence of
functional derangement or of some dis
eiute. "As to the stomach, the chief diseases
aro throe in numlier: tiustritis, Catarrh
and liyNpcpsis, liastrltis is either ucute
or chronic, though tho former is very rare,
aud is sect. in pan ed by more pain than the

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
members of the Irish National League was
held in St Patrick's Hall on Sunday night
for tho purpose of raising funds for the
thousands mado homeless by tho Pennsyl
vania floods. The Irish aro provorbially a
genorous-heartod people, ever ready to re
spond to the call of sufloring humanity,
bu( doubly so whon it comos from the
pcoplo of this country, who have so often
exhibited thoir substantial sympathy for
tho oppressed of tho old land.
Mr. John J. Shou was chosen chairman
and J. J. Mason serreiury.
After a free discussion of various meth
ods for raising funds tho meeting oventu
nl ly decided on giving a grand picnic in

THI DRAMA AT DUBANT.
An Entertainment for the Benefit of the
Cemetery Improvement Fund.
Corrospondono of Tbe Appeal.
Dcbant, Miss., June 6. The great En
glish tragedy, "Douglass," by Dr. Holmes,
was presented tonight at the City Hall by
the Durant Dramatic Company. This
play is takon from tho early Scotch his
tory, when Scotland was frequently in
vaded by Danish Sua Kinga, and tho coun
try divided in factions, tho innny poworful
chiefs continually making war on each
othor.
At 8 o'clock p.m. the doors wcro open.
The characters wero as follows:
Inl Ran.1iilr.ti .... ...Tr. A. H. Cotlsn
U.ly Haudolpb .Ulss Mli.ulo llsinlltiia
Ann Mrs. ti. T. llsmllton
Cilrnnlimn l'0L Hugh KosU'r
Old Norritl .. ... J. K. Alinoa
Voiiiik Norvl.... ..Cant O. T. Hamilton
tlllli-er T. I). Culler
The play is a most interesting ono and a
hotter selection could not have been made
for the ilifTcreut roles. They wore all
played to porfoction without excoption.
Tlio large aud refined audience present
was perfectly churmod. This local talent,
belonging to tho best of Durant society,
surpassed all expectations. It was simply
siierblv seted. Tho writer, who was so
fortunalo ucui.lontly to pass through tho
town, was perfectly carried away. Ho
has never in his life seen anything superior,
if cqtiftl, presented by the most noted
dramatic talent. F.nch ono soeiucd tr
fectly wrapped op iu their role, making
each movement and expression njipoar
naturul and suiting tho character. Iu the
part, whero Miss Hamilton, who plnyod
tho leading role as 1-ady llundolph, informs
young Norvull that he is her son, Lord
Douglass, and again in her last discourse
with him, when ho is dying from his
wound, everybody was deeply touched,
aud tho appluuse could not have boon
more sincere.
After the conclusion of this play tho one
set farce, "Cousin Joo," was presented,
but the writer regrets that he was pre
vented .from remaining to hear it. Tbe
characters were:
Mr. Arthur Tnng... .. .T. t. Ciilley
Mr. AMls;llToug. ..Miss WlllloCntion
Cousin J . II Allllnll
suu.iy n m.Jako bluiou
Iho audience was a most select ono.
Tho house Was crowded to its utmost. Not
an available seat wss to be had. Many had
to stand up. 1'cople bad come in by trains
and every which way from far off; besides
that the adjoining watering resort, Castil
iun (Springs, was largely represented. The
writer suggests that a progressive town like
Dursut, being fortuuuto enough ss to boast
of such accomplished amateur talent,
should not delay long in erecting a spacious
oera-houe. capable of seating tho audi
ences such dramatic talent can command.
Tlio music was furnished by the cxccllo it
Canton Hiring Hand. Tho toilet wero
excellent and tho scenery appropriate.

An Editor's Exoerlenos-
Major Hldiipy Herbert, a well known Jour
nnlist in SKricultural circles, writes April 18,
1SMU: Borne live years ajjo I wrote a loiter
stating that Swift's Bpcdlic had curod nis of
evero rheumatism. Bint e that time I hure
had no return of tho rheumatic troubles, ul
though fre(Ui'iitly exitosed to tho intluenceS
that protluced former uttucks. Hevcral of my
frientls had a similar experlrnco, and are firm
iu their conviction that H. R H. hruiiRht a
permanent cure. Tho .searching power of
this medicine Is rh iwn in tho (act that It do
vcloeil a acrnfuloti taint that wo conspio
uoiis in my blood over thirty years oro, and
has removed tbe last truce of it, I have also
t sUkI H. 8. S. as a tonic after a severe attack
of malarial fever, whicli kept me in bed for
three months, and am convinced that Its
curative and strengthening properties in
sured my recovery from that illness, as I was
In a very low condition of lioallh.
